Real question - If I had the money (I don’t), could I buy an easy hunt for Dall or Stone sheep?
Missed this one,I am in the wrong line of work to be a hunter in 2022. Good thing I enjoy general tag elk hunting more than just about anything else I suppose.
At 10 years old: “Later that year she had a successful Dall sheep hunt in Alaska, where she also tagged a caribou and killed a grizzly bear that ran into camp with a 712-yard shot.”

Cami and Stormy Cunningham both hunted Dall sheep in Alaska with their dad at the age of 10. Now Cami holds a North American Sheep Grand Slam.www.outdoorlife.com
Ill bet she's going to be a great "influencer".
She's on her way to become a great "influencer" .
God help us!
I can’t weigh in on stone sheep but money can buy a helicopter hunt for dall sheep in the NWT.

Calling it a helicopter hunt is misleading... To my knowledge, hunters with outfitters are being brought to remote areas. Same way they use super cubs in Alaska. The only reason they don't use helis in AK is because it's illegal. Still a physically demanding hunt. You just aren't spending 2-3 days or more on horseback getting to the area you're hunting.

Try landing a cub the same places you can land a helicopter...

How you get to your hunt location In South Nahanni we are in the unique position to fly our clients not only with the usual bush planes, but also with our own helicopters, either a Bell 206 Jet Ranger or a Bell Longranger L1, which is stationed in base camp throughout the entire hunting season.

I've come to the conclusion that you're extremely egocentric. I never said they could land in the same places. Are they, or are they not used in a similar way to super cubs? Both shuttle hunters into remote areas. Right? Or do you want to just keep disagreeing with me? I'm sure you'll have something intelligent to share that doesn't relate to anything I've said.

Ever done a sheep hunt in a cub? Ever seen where they can and can't land a cub? Where it's easy to land a helicopter?
How much have you flown in each?
You're delusional if you think a helicopter sheep hunt is the same as a cub.
About as ridiculous as saying using a cub is no different than using a horse.

Sell your BS to folks that haven't been there done that.
I’m not sure what else a person would call it? Helicopter based hunt maybe? They are illegal in Alaska for a reason. The ability to land just about anywhere is a game changer. I’d love to hunt over there since it’s some wild country with so few hunters.

The whole point of this crap is do you want to kill a sheep, or hunt a sheep. Two different things.
Although the little girl is a sheep killer, she’s most likely far from a sheep hunter.

Right, we used helicopters for fighting fire because it made it tougher and was no different than driving there in a truck, or backpacking in.
SMH....

I had not thought of helicopters. I guess if you can use them to access good stretches of the Flathead to fish you could use them for sheep…

Been in a cub and a helicopter. I know where they can and can't land. Clearly they can land in different places. The idea is to get into a remote area. Both forms of air transportation will do that. Can a heli get you in to a different area than a cub? Yes, clearly. Never said they can land in the same spots or even areas. Any other words you can put in my mouth?Ever done a sheep hunt in a cub?

I'm not sure. But yes that's the idea of using a heli or a cub, it gets you into the most wild and remote places. But apparently you're not a hunter to some ppl if you don't walk in from the road.

Nothing tougher than landing on top, hiking DOWN to your ram and having it long lined to your truck.
Pretty similar to backpacking into the UL's or the Church to hunt rams.

Yeah, the most wild and remote country with the least amount of work as possible. No different than lugging a backpack there...

So in NWT, Yukon, or BC, could a guide fly over with a lower cost plane, spot rams, call the “hunter” at home, have him/her/they fly in the next day, and then helicopter he/her/them in a mile or so from the rams?

Cute! Your parents must be proud of the mighty hunter they raised. Only walks in from the roads in the lowest success rate units. Iron sights only on his flintlock. Or excuse me, he only has a long bow.
You're right, flying a plane or heli into a remote area is the most unfair thing ever.
I'd pay for a flight into a remote area to avoid bumping into someone like you on the mountain.
